Purpose

This scoping review aims to survey literature that covers employability preparation and labor market outcomes for graduates from transnational higher education institutions.

Design/methodology/approach

This scoping literature review uses career ecosystems as a theoretical framework and the context-input-process-outcomes model as a conceptual framework.

Findings

This scoping review confirms a limited research base of approximately 50 sources that primarily use qualitative methods and socio-economic theories to center the student voice and focus on international branch campuses in the Middle East and Asia. Notably, there is a lack of focus on staff experiences regarding the process of preparing students for employment. The review also demonstrates the need for more research on career processes and outcomes in transnational higher education.

Research limitations/implications

This scoping review is relevant to higher education institutions seeking to meet the challenges of preparing graduates for more than one national labor market. It has implications for universities' ability to attract students, develop relevant labor market preparation programming and understand whether the institution is addressing local employment needs. For researchers, it offers insight and impetus into the area of inquiry regarding transnational education, graduate labor market outcomes and employability.

Practical implications

Practical implications are drawn for students, parents, policymakers and transnational and non-transnational higher education institutions, as well as those who are engaged in providing international education and career advice.

Social implications

This review offers insight into developing labor market-relevant TNE programming, which may be helpful both for host and home country transnational education stakeholders interested in impact.

Originality/value

This is one of the first reviews to systematically address literature about employability preparation and labor market outcomes for graduates from transnational higher education institutions; in using career ecosystems theory, this review offers a bridge between international higher education and career studies.

跨国教育、劳动力市场结果和毕业生就业能力：范围界定审查

目的

本范围审查旨在调查涵盖跨国高等教育机构毕业生就业能力准备和劳动力市场结果的文献。

设计/方法/途径

这份范围界定文献综述使用职业生态系统作为理论框架，使用背景-输入-过程-结果模型作为概念框架。

发现

这项范围界定审查确认了大约 50 个来源的有限研究基础，这些来源主要使用定性方法和社会经济理论来集中学生的声音并关注中东和亚洲的国际分校。值得注意的是，在为学生就业做准备的过程中，缺乏对员工经验的关注。审查还表明需要对跨国高等教育的职业过程和结果进行更多研究。

研究局限性/影响

这一范围界定审查与寻求应对为多个国家劳动力市场准备毕业生的挑战的高等教育机构相关。它对大学吸引学生、制定相关劳动力市场准备计划以及了解该机构是否正在解决当地就业需求的能力有影响。对于研究人员来说，它为跨国教育、毕业生劳动力市场结果和就业能力的调查领域提供了洞察力和动力。

实际影响

对学生、家长、政策制定者、跨国和非跨国高等教育机构以及那些从事提供国际教育和职业建议的人具有实际意义。

社会影响

这篇评论提供了对开发与劳动力市场相关的跨国教育计划的见解，这可能对东道国和本国对影响感兴趣的跨国教育利益相关者都有帮助。

原创性/价值

这是系统地处理有关跨国高等教育机构毕业生的就业能力准备和劳动力市场结果的文献的第一批评论之一；在使用职业生态系统理论时，这篇评论在国际高等教育和职业研究之间架起了一座桥梁。
